The Use of I-gel laryngeal mask with selective endobronchial blocker for uniportal video assisted thoracic surgery

Abstract

The development of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery has led to a rising interest in decreasing the invasiveness not only of the surgical procedures, but also of the anaesthetic management. We report our preliminary experience using a supraglottic device and a bronchial blocker without neuromuscular blockade during uniportal video assisted thoracic surgery.
